This data is made up of the results from evaluating the nature conservation resource of the sediment environment in the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel. This database was created for the Marine Aggregates Resource Management Planning System (MARMPS), a National Assembly project, in order to create a decision-support tool for the Environment Minister when making decisions on aggregate extraction licences.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 1749 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Severn Estuary Database Phase 2 |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Cronfa Ddata Aber Hafren Cam II |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 4f4c4942-4343-5764-6473-303234323637 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 24267 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1999-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2001-12-31 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | This data is made up of the results from evaluating the nature conservation resource of the sediment environment in the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel. This database was created for the Marine Aggregates Resource Management Planning System (MARMPS), a National Assembly project, in order to create a decision-support tool for the Environment Minister when making decisions on aggregate extraction licences. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This database is made up of c. 80 data layers produced in the Bristol Channel Marine Aggregates Study (BCMAS) as part of former CCW's response to the Marine Aggregates Dredging Policy. It was completely reformatted due to a new set of requirements and to conduct a review of the data again. There is a scoring mechanism (0, 1, 2, 3. 0 = neutral sensitivity, 3 = highest sensitivity) for features and supporting habitats for each of the 49 coastal cells in four separate categories: Ramsar, Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Area (SPA) and Site of Special Scientific Importance (SSSI). In addition there are tabs to include information on Areas of Oustanding Natural Beauty (AONB), National Nature Reserves (NNR), Marine Nature Reserves (MNR ), and Biodiversity Action Plans (BAP) and comments for each cell. There is a summary mechanism which calculates the maximum sensitivity for any cell for all four scored categories (must be maximum, not average). |
